Manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) is a useful method for
measuring calcium-dependent cellular activity due to
accumulation of Mn2+ in cells via voltage-gated calcium
channels. We investigated the feasibility of MEMRI as a
method to detect BAT activation in mice induced by cold
exposure. We show for the first time that MEMRI can
differentiate between BAT and WAT tissue in mice.
